ptrace: make former thread ID available via PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG after PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop
When multithreaded program execs under ptrace, all traced threads report WIFEXITED status, except for thread group leader and the thread which execs. Unless tracer tracks thread group relationship between tracees, which is a nontrivial task, it will not detect that execed thread no longer exists. This patch allows tracer to figure out which thread performed this exec, by requesting PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG in PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop. Another, samller problem which is solved by this patch is that tracer now can figure out which of the several concurrent execs in multithreaded program succeeded.
